Experience with e-stim and hip pain during pregnancy

[Guest guest]

I have a patient with severe low back/left hip pain who is 6 months

pregnant. She is quite overweight with a lot of hip fat and muscle to

work with. I have often used e-stim to treat hip pain, and I know e-

stim can be contra-indicated for pregnant women, but feel it would help

her pain if used carefully and with low stimulation. Has anyone

treated this kind of condition with e-stim in the third trimester?

Thanks,

Have you tried hand acupuncture first?
